Barty, who eliminated Kvitová in Madrid, has been leading the rankings since September 2019. Her Saturday’s conqueror Aryna Sabalenková from Belarus has moved from seventh to fourth place in the rankings and is at a new personal maximum. The doubles champions from Spanish clay Kateřina Siniaková and Barbora Krejčíková did not improve their position – Krejčíková is seventh, her partner eighth.
Novak Djokovic started the 320th week today at the top of the ATP rankings. The star Serb broke Roger Federer’s male record in March (310 weeks) and today came third in the men’s and women’s standings ahead of Serena Williams. Steffi Grafová (377) spent the most weeks on the throne, and Martina Navrátilová (332) is ahead of Djokovic.
